In effect, it's not unlike a level cap. Gloomhaven works well for what it is, but part of that is that you tend not to immerse yourself in your token as much as a PC, and as such a randomly determined, pre-emptive goal works okay. For an RPG, the issue is that your goal for your character can easily shift over the course of gameplay. Also, there's a fine line between getting to retire your character and having to retire your character in RPGs.</blockquote>
